I just finished reading a thread where a bunch of "high reputation" folks were just shredding a well intentioned individual, who had made an honest mistake. Right down to getting personal about his job, how much money he makes, and the color of his underwear. All of which had absolutely nothing to do with the subject.
These were mean spirited, unwarranted, personal attacks. Like a bunch of bullies beating up the little kid on the playground. Is that how you get reputation points around here? Apparently it is, because all these bullies had a lot of rep points.
I have read other, less inflammatory posts by the same folks, and most of them appear very knowledgable on the subject of herps. But, they seem to have a need to personally attack anyone who has the nerve to disagree with them.
I think this would be a much more popular and beneficial site if these folks suffer consequences when they behave like jerks.
So, toward that end, I am urging all the people who read their unwarranted nastiness, but just watch from the wings, to take their overbloated egos down a notch. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU WHO FEEL THIS WAY, BUT JUST OBSERVE QUIETLY
WHEN YOU OBSERVE PATHOLOGICAL NASTINESS, GIVE NEGATIVE REP POINTS
They have no way of knowing who you are. They can't see the names of who gives them points, so don't be afraid.
I humbly ask the "silent masses" to make THEIR voices heard. It will be better for all of us.
